Gaussian Elimination Quiz

Gaussian elimination can be used to compute the rank of a matrix, the determinant of a square matrix, and the inverse of an invertible matrix.

Gaussian elimination is named after Carl Friedrich Gauss.

Gaussian elimination is an algorithm for solving systems of linear equations.

<p>The three types of elementary row operations used in Gaussian elimination are: 1) Swapping two rows, 2) Multiplying a row by a nonzero scalar, and 3) Adding a multiple of one row to another row.</p> Signup and view all the answers
